Build Identifier: 20110218-0911 Somehow my eclipse installation has gotten into a state where it crashes every time I click the "Choose a previously entered comment" drop-down in the Team->Commit dialog: 85% /work1/helios/eclipse -clean & 86% The program 'Eclipse' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 104984 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Is there any way to work around this problem? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Launch eclipse 2.Right click on project in Package Explorer 3.Select Team->Commit 4. Click on <Choose a previously entered comment> combo box (anywhere)
I started deleting things from my workspace/.metadata/.plugins directory and repeating steps 1-4. Finally, one of the following rm commands seems to have fixed the problem: rm .plugins/org.eclipse.team.core/.cache/org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core/0 rm .plugins/org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.ui/commitCommentHistory.xml rm .plugins/org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core/.svnProviderState

Do you get this problem with other combo boxes?
No
Commit wizards are part of a repository provider UI. It looks that you're working with an SVN repo. What plug-in provider is that in your case, Subversive or Subclipse?
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
